1. Warm-up 1) What is the central dogma? 2) Put the following steps of protein synthesis in order. ___ Polypeptides (proteins) are formed as ribosomes move along the messenger RNA strand. DNA molecules serve as templates for making messenger RNA molecules. Transfer RNA molecules bring amino acids to ribosome. Messenger RNA molecules move to the ribosome. 3) List as many factors as you can that make a protein different from another protein
